As always, it is an easy thing to try a start to any cozy mystery series. The stage here is set, and the town and its members are discussed before one of them turns up dead. I have read very few where the issue was just burglary since that seems more probable, but given how… Continue reading Sticks and Stones and a Bag of Bones by Heather Weidner

Out Of Service by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch
I have read and enjoyed the Darkwood Series by the author earlier. It is purely based on my prior experience that this review is going to sound the way it is.The style of writing in this book and the others I have read are not for everyone. There is so much subtext hidden in the… Continue reading Out Of Service by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch
Green for Danger by Christianna Brand
June has been a slow start in my reviewing. If I let a day go by without a review, it tends to slide into a week! I have to keep an eye on this because I have not slowed down my reading to match up! I own a few of the author's works which I… Continue reading Green for Danger by Christianna Brand

This is my monthly wrap-up post. I am a mood reader, try as I might to ensure I pay appropriate attention to my backlog. The books are sorted based on the moods I think they will be best appreciated in. The moods are standard ones that I have been using for a couple of years… Continue reading May 2023 Books Vs Moods
Swan Light by Phoebe Rowe
The strength of this book is in its writing. It is evocative, and both timelines have an oppressive atmosphere of something that hovers throughout the tale. I think I expected more from the ending than I ultimately got, which is the reason for my final rating.I think most people will better appreciate this book than… Continue reading Swan Light by Phoebe Rowe
